Today is the start of the new challenge at Marvelous Magnolia and the theme is once again, Anything Goes Christmas!

Easy Hey!

Today I am using Tilda with Little Snowy the Snowman, the first time I am using this super cute image.

Here is my card...

As you can see I have glittered Tilda and added flower soft flocking to the fluffy parts of her hat.

I have also made my own hand made flowers for a change, I have hand stamped and cut my own ticket sentiment, stamped with Walking in the Air!

The beautiful brown lace is from Jules House of Ribbons, which is a little independent online store, owned by Jules, selling a wide selection of crafting goodies and unique hand dyed seam binding!!! My papers are both Maja Design from Live and Love Crafts.

Please pop over to Marvelous Magnolia to see if you are a winner of our prize or one of the DTs top 3!!!

Florals, berries and pine cones are WOC, the Ribbon Girl and Live and Love Crafts.

I have tied two cinnamon sticks together with beautiful seam binding, the sticks, seam binding and lovely lace are all from Jules House Of Ribbons!She is making changes to her shop at the moment, but you can also shop in her ebay shop found in her side bar.

Over the next fortnight we are looking forward to seeing your creations and the theme is no Fall/Autumn colours, so no browns, orange or yellow please.

The team have put together fabulous inspiration for you, please pop over and join in the fun!

This is my no Fall/Autumn card, I coloured with DI's for a change...

I adore these gorgeous papers from Lemon crafts wet pain collection, I made my Magnolia Bridal bow from the same paper, the backing paper is Pions new solid colour card, they work so lovely together with the cream embellies!

Its a beautiful day here today, so sunny and for October a real treat!

I have a card to share today with two of the new Boho Collection Tilda's ...

It is a Z Fold Card, initially inspired by Jennifer D's tutorial, but I have changed the dimensions to suit my design.

I have used Hippie Tilda and stamped some of the leaves that came with the collection.

and Chic Fringe Tilda, I also used the little toad stool border that was a part of the doohickey club.

Papers are Pion and the little bird cage is from L&L Crafts and was part of a set along the clay heart that I have triple embossed with frantage. All flowers are WOC and the cream berry spray is from L&L Crafts too!

My Beautiful Daughter Ashleigh is 21 Today and here is the birthday card that I made for her.

I didnt see her reaction as she is in Preston at university, but I knew that she would like it, as I used her favourite colour, can you guess which one he he!I called her this morning and she is thrilled with her card and she is having a great day with all of her uni friends!

I used Celebration Tilda and a key to the door charm, as it is tradition and I used my precious daughter sentiment which is just perfect. I bought the Precious Daughter paper to use on this card.

Its a different style for me, but I like how it turned out

The flowers are from WOC and the papers are from L&L Crafts - as always!!!

Bohemian Peony Tilda, she is beautiful isnt she! I adored her from the moment I first saw her!

As I am sure you know, I have mixed roses from the ribbon girl, WOC and Berries and rolled roses from L&L crafts.

The beautiful Lace on the bottom layer is from Jules House of Ribbons and the top Lace is from Live and Love Crafts, I also used a couple of tickets behind Tilda. They are elements from Pion paper also from the the same store.

The chipboard double lamp light is from Scrap and Craft on line store.

I have coloured her with copics and distress inked the edges and frantaged the die cut frame in shabby beige.

A closer look at the beautiful florals and below I have used Gesso and DI's to age a brass heart frame with some ideology wording and one of my build a bees!

I also hand cut the burgundy/brown border and die cut matching decorative elements.

Hope that you have a lovely week, its nearly the week end and you have lots of time to craft.

She is coloured with copics and I have shaded the frame with DI and added a little beige frantage too.

I have used a pink lace at the back of the die cream die cut lace border, the paper is pink ornament, by Pion design and my Magnolia Bow is made from one of Maja's Designs Sofiero Papers, that are still a firm favourite of mine!!!

My Gorgeous Florals are Mainly from WOC and a few from my stash with frosted berries from L&L Crafts. I have used a few of Joy Craft Dies and a Magnolia picture reel die at the top of the florals.

As I always mention our weather here in the UK, today it is raining, yesterday was a mix of sun and rain and the day before was the same as today. So I have been inside a lot of the time and created this card for fun.

I have hand cut my card and the butterfly border and ornate border are both from Joy Craft.

I have coloured up the back ground with Prisma Pencils using the Low Odour Technique, melting the wax in layers to create shading.

Tilda is coloured up using Copics.

My flowers are from WOC, as is the gorgeous bling in the middle of my Magnolia Doohickey. The gorgeous lace is from L&L Crafts and the beautiful ribbon rose trim (which is quite unusual, as it satin) and seam binding are from Jules House of Ribbons! I have used some Lilac Butterfly Magnolia paper for all of my die cuts and I hope you like it.

The ribbon girl

See below for a selection of my first cards, that I posted on my blog

Valentines Topper

I Used Tim Holtz Distress Inks As The Medium For This Topper and The Stunning Roses, Poppies and Tulips are From WOC and Papers Are From My Personal Stash Of Mixerd Designer Papers.

Step Cards

I have been making these step cards since around 2009/10 and find them to be very eye catching and unusual in design. My family were all thrilled with their Christmas step cards, so I thought I would share the two that I have made recently. One is a male theme Edwin Card and the Other is from the Magnolia 2013 Summer Memories Range! Thanks For droping Bye. Cuddles Jay x
